hood clearance

ok guys, my hood is starting to piss me off, everytime it rains water gets in my engine bay and on my engine and it makes my car run weird and sometimes kills my tach til the water boils off from the heat. i can deal with the extra weight becasue its better then possibly frying my electrical system. now i have a b18c1 in my crx using HAsport mounts. i have the stock hood and im wanting to put the stock hood back on. now ive heard you can cut some of the structural support off of the hood so it clears the engine. but i dont want to try this if it wont work. does anyone know if this will work for sure? i dont want my hood to look bubled nor do i want it to touch the engine. also what would i cut the supprt off with?

I have the same setup a b18c with hasport mounts and i used a dremell tool and cut a 2X2 inch section of webbing out. it took about 30 seconds and it never rubbed since you cant even tell i cut anything out from under the hood unless you are really looking for it.
